OPERATION GRIDLOCK: 3rd Street at Greenfield Lake reopens ahead of schedule

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A popular intersection is back to normal operation following months of one section being closed for construction work.

The NC Department of Transportation closed S. 3rd Street/Burnett Boulevard between Willard Street and Carolina Beach Road in April. The section of road(3rd St) was expected to remain closed through Dec. 31.

The closure allowed crews to replace a 70-year-old concrete culvert with a new, larger culvert that will better drain excess water from Greenfield Lake.
